Ef' 'Hating' a citizen of the United.y States, Iresidinnrat .'Springfield, inr the coui'ity ofV Clark and State f'Ohio, have.invcntedfceitain neuV and useful Improvements-in Strainers, `of

. which, the following is a specification, ief- Ierence being had therein 'tothe accompanying drawings;

My invention 'relates to'strain'ers, and more Aparticularly to astrainer for use in pipe lines', arranged to remove s olidf impurities without :interrupting theftiou' 'of 'the fluid. '-1 l The. objectofany invention is" to' provide.

a'simple, strong andj durable strainer that. willstand the shocks'and'strainsA incident to L its use, andsoarranged 4that: ittca'nlbe easily cleaned without interrupting thefiowA of the 2o y. With these and'oxther objecfsjli-nv View my invention consists` oftheeonstr-uctions yand I combinationshereinafter described and set forth in the claims.

Tn the drawingsl represents iii-,casing liav .ing an inletheadQ and an outlet. head 3 rer movably secured thereto by bolts 4. Said :heads are each Aprovided with suitable flanges 5to attach `to .the main throughwhich .the'fiuid to be strained flows; Iand* said heads are further 4provided with in wardly projecting tapered portions G formling the inlet and outlethaving'zports 7 arformed by said casig, a valve 8 is adapted -to Arotate-'on theftape'red portions 6 of the heads, Said valve basa plurality of'cliaiiif a bers secured thereto or formed?. therewith two'heingshown in the drawingsq'eaiili be-- ing provided with Vports 9 adapted to regis Hter with the ports 7 so that upon rotating or ,turningrthe valve any one of said chambers may be brought into position tov form a., pas- 'sage way from the inlet toloutlet of the casing through the side of the chamber formed by. theeasing into which the ports7 open,

t-he arrangement being such that the ports to the othervalve chambers are closed. Tn the swoon A It ivill'be noted amour. 3j:

Tt will be seen that by rotating the handwheel any one of the valve chambers may be positioned to form the passage way between I theiiilet-andoutlet of the-casing, 'and when the basket in said chamber requires cleaning', the valve may be rotated to close. the
